Creative Wedding Ideas

[PhoenixAzul]

The reception was in an old tutor mansion--what a great day!

Must have been...getting drilled in algebra and what have you No, I love Tudor style as well.

Try www.indiebride.com as well. Lots of inexpensive/innovative ideas. Some are off the wall so if you're really traditional it might not be for you.

If/when I ever do a wedding, the goal is to do it as fun, inexpensive and awesome as possible. I don't really care for a lot of the "cultural expectations" crap...we're getting hitched, let's celebrate! And NO NO NO garter/bouquet toss for me. Someone on here mentioned a flower dance...where the DJ/MC/someone has all married couples go out on the floor and dance. Then he has people who have been married less than a day sit down (ie, the bride and groom!), then move through progressively larger chunks of time. The last couple standing (meaning the couple married longest) gets the bride's bouquet. I think that's a wonderful way to do it!

LOL @ tutor. Hee.

I don't know about the flower dance idea -- it seems nice in theory, but has the potential to make quite a few people feel like shit, too.

Friends of mine did this and called it the "anniversary dance." The bride did a bouquet toss separately, but it was a nice representation of lasting love.
